IE7 Icon on Desktop

[RonM]

How can I get the IE7 icon back on my desktop... not a typical shortcut, but
the one in which I can set properties, delete temp files, etc...

I believe it's the icon placed on the desktop after IE is installed.

I'm running Vista Home Premium.

Thanks,
Ron

To put the special IE icon on your desktop (the one where you
right-click the icon and choose Properties to get to Internet Options,
etc.):

Go to the Start Menu, click All Programs, scroll to Internet Explorer, right
click, select Properties, select Send to and click Desktop. Note, you can't
do this with Internet Explorer pinned to the top of the menu and be sure you
don't use IE with no add-ons, under Accessories.
